Reunited and it feels so good.....

Today was much more pleasant than yesterday but it was nice because of all the cleaning I had done yesterday.  Still had a few things to clean today and tomorrow will be another cleaning day too, but today it was fun to start putting some parts back on the car.

Air cleaner box reassembled and installed.  

Panels were installed prior to the installation of the air filter box, they were cleaned and painted yesterday


Wheel bearings cleaned, greased, new seal for hub, rotor installed and then the caliper.  The bolts for the caliper were drilled for locking wire and since I like to do this, even though the bolt has split washer and locktight I did it anyways.  Belt, suspenders and...?

Freshened front suspension on passenger side.



Today wasn't without mishaps though,  I was working on the lower ball joint on the drivers side only to realize that the ball joint kit was missing the upper 'cap'.  The other kit had it so I had proceed to remove the one on this side in preparation for reassembly and it was destroyed during the removal process.  A quick note off to the supplier and I hope it comes soon because the front suspension is waiting.
Cheers
